    ingredients for chai espresso martini

    How do I infuse the vodka with chai tea?

    Just one simple step! Place 2 chai tea bags in 1 cup of vanilla vodka, and let sit for at least 15 minutes. The vodka should be brown by this time. I have also let the chai infuse overnight and I don't find it to be too strong!

    How do I make this cocktail?

    • Steep 2 tea bags in one cup of vanilla vodka for at least 15 minutes.
    • Fill a shaker with ice cubes, then add all the ingredients.
    • Shake vigorously to mix ingredients and form the perfect foamy top layer!
    • Strain into a glass.

    What kind of milk should I use?

    It is really up to you! I always use oat or almond milk because that’s what I typically have on hand. All that is important is that the milk is unsweetened and unflavored!

    What is chai?

    Chai is a tea originally from India. It’s a black tea steeped with spices. These spices typically include ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, nutmeg, and cloves. For this recipe, all you need to do is buy chai tea bags which include all of this with the tea!
